They continued to surround Suno, which was considered to be the execution of King Gryphus's order.
Without further ado, King Gryfus saw the Swadian knights rushing down the hillside. Having fought against the Swadian army countless times, he already knew what he should do.
"Divide a part of the troops, use spears and shield walls to block the charge of the Swadian Knights, and the other part will follow me to defeat the Nord army here. This group of Nordic troops are already exhausted after a long journey, and they will not be able to withstand our charge. After we defeat this group of Nordic troops, we will reunite and attack Vols together." King Gryfus quickly gave orders to his subordinates. It is true that in terms of his military talent, the king is not the best on the continent, but he has rich combat experience. According to his pre-conceived ideas, he has many years of experience in fighting against Swadian Knights, so he quickly ordered his men to resist the charge of the Swadian Knights.
But all this was obviously prepared too late. After all, the Swadian Knights launched a sudden attack. For a while, the army of the Rhodok Kingdom was unable to establish an effective defensive formation. The long-haired men had not yet set up their shield wall or formed a line, and the Swadian Knights had already arrived before them. However, King Gryphus led another part of his army to attack the Nordic Kingdom.
Facing an unformed army, Wals already knew that he had a sure win. He was holding a heavy lance at this moment, and wearing a helmet hindered his cause, but in front of him were shadows of enemy soldiers. Without any effort, Wals' heavy lance pierced the head of a Rhodok soldier. Yes, it hit the head directly, and the Rhodok soldier was killed on the spot. Immediately afterwards, large groups of Swadian knights launched a charge, and suddenly there was a wailing on the battlefield. The Rhodok soldiers fled for their heads in their hands, and some of the guys who stayed to fight bloody battles were beheaded by the Swadian knights who drew their knights' swords.
Originally, these Swadian knights should have been exhausted after resisting the attack of the Rhodok Kingdom today, but Wals was the first to let this group of Swadian knights rest, because he knew that the Rhodok Kingdom would definitely intercept the reinforcements of the Nord Kingdom. Therefore, Wals was the first to let this group of Swadian knights who were able to perform well in field combat rest.
Perhaps the energy of the Swadian knights has not yet recovered to its heyday, but it is more than enough to deal with this group of Rhodok Kingdom's defeated troops. After all, Wals adopted a sneak attack strategy, and King Gryfus has not yet established an effective defensive formation. The time is too short. Each of his Swadian knights is wearing heavy armor, which is like a tank rushing into the crowd, crushing the Rhodok Kingdom soldiers to death.
"Wols? Why are you here? Shouldn't you stay in Suno?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Walls turned around and saw a man he had just met today, Blackback Spear Manwell.
I didn't expect to see him again at dusk after just seeing him in the morning. I don't know if it's fate or destiny. This time, Wals will never be merciful. When dealing with his enemies, Wals will never give up any chance to kill them. The knight drew his sword from its scabbard. This time Wals was riding a horse to fight, so it was natural for him to change his sword.
Manwell, the Black Spear, saw the approaching Wals. He was frightened by the knight's sword in his hand, but fortunately, Manwell was not destined to die. There were dozens of Rhodok soldiers in front of him, so he didn't need to worry that Wals would suddenly kill him. Manwell held her black spear and quickly retreated. He wanted to return to King Griffus. He was scared by Wals. If he still kept his sanity, he would understand that returning to King Griffus was not a good idea. He should fight Wals to death. Death on the battlefield was his ultimate fate. Returning to King Griffus in such a miserable state would definitely bring shame to him in his life.
However, Manwell could not care about so many things. He quickly ran towards King Griffithsford. After seeing his commander fleeing from the battlefield, his soldiers did not bother to fight against the Swadian knights and fled.
Perhaps they thought they had no chance of defeating this group of Swadian knights. As a standard Swadian knight, Emirida naturally followed Wals to fight against the soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom. However, there was a servant following him. Judging from his figure, he looked like an ordinary woman. This was strange. The Swadian knights recruited by Wals were all men. How could there be a woman following Emirida?
This female knight is none other than Christina. This persistent guy has been following Emrida. Her father seems to have retired. As a noble of the Kingdom of Swadia, the Kingdom of Nord did not kill all the original nobles. This would not be of any benefit to the Kingdom of Nord. In order to express friendly advice to the people of the Kingdom of Swadia, King Ragnar pardoned all the nobles of the Kingdom of Swadia. Except for not giving them rights, all other living necessities were provided to them. Of course, they still had to be self-reliant. For Wals, what King Ragnar did was extremely beneficial to him. If King Ragnar killed all the nobles, would Christina stay with him? And will Emilida and those Swadian knights follow me? The Swadian knights are all powerful, but they are all of noble birth and have foreign connections with those great nobles. If they are killed, it will actually create a lifelong hatred with me. I am a noble of the Nordic Kingdom, and these Swadian knights would rather die than bow to me.
At this moment, Christina and Aimirida led the juniors and defeated the Rhodok soldiers. They had heard about the horror of the Wadians since they were young, especially their heavy cavalry.
When they did not have an effective defensive formation, when heavy cavalry and infantry fought on the plains, it was often the heavy cavalry that won. Their charge could disrupt the favorable formation of the infantry. Once the formation was disrupted, the morale of the army would be shaken. The final result would naturally be that each would fight on their own. The final result of fighting on their own would certainly be that they would not be able to form an effective resistance. If they could not form an effective resistance, it would cause large-scale escape. Therefore, there were countless deserters on the battlefield, and very few Rhodok soldiers were actually killed.
Wals only brought more than 40 Swadian knights, and behind them were dozens of ordinary Nord light cavalry. The Nords were not good at fighting on horseback, but they still knew how to ride horses. This led to a few Nord light cavalry in the army of the Nord Kingdom. Their main role was to conduct reconnaissance and raids and harassment. The real main force still depended on the Nord infantry.
It can be said that Walls was very courageous. He dared to charge into the Rhodok army of more than 1,500 people with a cavalry team of less than 100 people. Such courage is truly admirable, and his Swadian knights are also truly admirable.
When Count Leyland saw the Rhodok soldiers running away, he knew that he had lost the battle. On the plain, the combat advantage of the Swadian knights was fully utilized. Most of his elite soldiers went to fight against the group of Nord reinforcements. King Gryfus took command of the battlefield. Most of the Rhodok soldiers had to obey King Gryfus's orders. Count Leyland was not a top military talent, but he had rich combat experience like King Gryfus. At this moment, he was worried about the Rhodok soldiers who still obeyed his orders, so he asked them to form a row of short shield walls in the back. The Rhodok crossbowmen aimed at the Swadian knights in the back. Even if the Swadian knights wore heavy armor, the Rhodok crossbowmen could still shoot through the heavy armor. Count Leyland's quick and effective command temporarily saved the situation.
However, the situation on this side was temporarily stabilized, but on the other side, more than a thousand reinforcements from the Nord Kingdom led by Thordenjar and more than 100 people of King Gryphus started a fierce battle.
索尔顿雅尔指示一名年轻领主,作战经验并不够丰富,但是好在,索尔顿雅尔身边还有着一名休伊特,休伊特虽然也是一名年轻人,但是他却是一个军事天才,虽然较之沃尔斯不足,但是比之索尔顿雅尔却要强得多。
索尔顿雅尔将战场的一半指挥权交给了休伊特来进行指挥,虽然对于这个商人出身的休伊特感觉到有些不齿,但是待人温和的索尔顿雅尔却没有将它挂记在心上懂了反倒是其他的那一些诺德王国贵族们瞧不起休伊特的商人出身,认为他就是一个普普通通的平民。
因此,休伊特只获得了部分诺德王国士兵的指挥权,但是仅靠这些部分诺德士兵,休伊特依然可以大展身手。
休伊特迅速指挥着自己的军队做出变形,很快有效的作战队形便形成了,前面是诺德重步兵高举着盾牌,诺德轻步兵在之后,最后面的是诺德弓箭手,战争一开始的时候,葛瑞福斯国急于杀掉眼前的那一群诺德王国援军,便下令自己的士兵在箭雨过后,迅速向前进攻,罗多克弩手暂时停止射击,这样做是为了防止射到自己人。
虽然说,格瑞福斯国王放弃了最有优势的打法,而选择直接和诺德王国的军队作战,诺德王国的步兵是全大陆上面最好的募兵,他们作战勇猛,几乎很少有人敢正面和他们对抗。尽管罗多克王国的步兵也在大陆上面是数一数二的,但是和真正的诺德勇士比起来还是略有不足。
不过诺德王国也有自己的劣势,那一些诺德人正在行军的路上,他们走了一天的路斗号现在已经是疲惫之躯,根本无法对敌军造成有效的伤害,因此这一群诺德士兵在和罗多克王国的军队第一次交锋的时候,就明显处于下风。
虽然有的休伊特的临时指挥,才暂时压制住了这样溃败的场面,那一群罗多克士兵冲过来的时候,诺德弓箭手先发制人对他们进行了一波射击,尽管说在快要接近黄昏的时候,能见度大大下降,这也就导致了诺德弓箭手的准头不太好,众所周知,诺德弓箭手的作战水平远远比不上诺德步兵,因此这一波箭雨下来,能够射杀的罗多克士兵少之又少。
大多数的罗多克士兵已经冲到了挣钱,诺德士兵也没有多说废话,勇士不畏惧死亡,大多数的诺德人都是这样想的,最前面的是一群诺德重步兵,他们手持着坚硬的盾牌,为后方提供有效的防御,在休伊特的巧妙安排之下,第一排的作战士兵在战斗疲惫之后,第二排的换上第一排,替他们作战,而在第一排的士兵就可以换下来到最后一排进行休息,打到最后,罗多克的士兵倒是死伤不少,诺德军队却可以稳住自己的阵脚。
但是休伊特却可以感觉得到,自己这一方还是处在下风的,因为随着时间的推移,休伊特可以看得出来自己的军队所面临的最大的一个问题,那就是体力不支,走了一天的路他们早就疲惫不堪,在经过这一场战斗,他们的疲惫之下已经显现出来了,休伊特从容不迫的指挥着自己的军队进行作战,那一群罗多克王国的士兵如同疯狗一般猛扑撕咬,就是不让这一群诺德士兵有任何的逃跑机会。
休伊特指挥的洛德士兵还好,可是在另一边的索尔顿雅尔指挥的士兵却并不尽人意,索尔顿雅尔的军事指挥才能远远比不上休伊特,因此在索尔顿雅尔那一边,所有的人都可以看得出来他处在劣势。
不过幸运的是,他们都知道沃尔斯已经带领援军来拯救他们的,没错雷兰德伯爵也抵挡不住沃尔特的斯瓦迪亚骑士,就算雷兰德伯爵站时集结出来的一支军队来抵抗斯瓦迪亚骑士的冲锋,但是在斯瓦迪亚骑士的铁蹄之下,这一只匆匆忙忙集结并且摆好了阵势的罗多克军队呗打得七零八落,土崩瓦解之后,维兰德伯爵居然成了沃尔斯的俘虏。
“沃尔斯,要不是我的属下德鲁里不在这里的话,我绝对不会被你给抓住了,德鲁里会让你知道罗多克王国的厉害。”雷兰德伯爵脸上的表情是那么的不甘心,仿佛自己吃了一个大亏一般,他心里写满了1万个不服,明明就是自己这一边人数占着优势,却还是被沃尔斯姐死死地压住,任何一个人心里都会不满的,尤其是雷兰德伯爵是一个作战指挥经验极其丰富的人,眼看着自己手里这么好的一张牌却得来了这样的一个结局,怎么会让他甘心呢?
“如果说,你的得力干将德鲁里在这里的话,我也会让他知道诺德王国的厉害的,或者说我沃尔斯的厉害。”沃尔斯也不甘示弱的说道,他还挥动着自己手中的骑士长剑,如果一不小心的话极有可能砍下雷兰德伯爵的脑袋,雷兰德伯爵自然也知道自己已经沦为了阶下囚,只要沃尔斯动一动他的指头,自己恐怕就会人头落地,虽然说在绝大部分情况之下,眼前的沃尔斯是绝对不会将自己给杀掉了,他顶多只会把自己扔进地牢,然后等待着战争结束,亦或者是等待自己的家里人拿出赎金将自己赎回来。
事情果真如同雷兰德伯爵所猜想的那样,沃尔斯招几个诺德轻骑兵把雷兰德伯爵给压了下去,而他自己则带领着剩下的军队解救诺德王国的援军,这一群来拯救自己的诺德军队到头来却还要靠沃尔斯来拯救他们,不得不说这是一个天大的笑话。
在经过了一场战斗之后,斯瓦迪亚骑士的体力已经不像开始那样充沛,但是沃尔斯也知道,在经过和诺德王国的军队大战一场之后,葛瑞福斯国王所率领的那一群罗多克军队也已经精疲力尽,因此沃尔斯只要一声令下,让自己的斯瓦迪亚骑士再发起一轮冲锋,即刻之间便将摧毁葛瑞福斯国王所带领的那一支军队。
而事情确确实实就如同沃尔斯所猜想的那样,格瑞福斯国王所带领的那一支军队背靠着沃尔斯,意识很简单沃尔斯完全可以带领着他的骑士从这一支军队的背后发起冲锋,到时候两面夹击,这一支罗多克军队便会土崩瓦解。
“我的骑士们,现在是你们建功立业的时候了,相信我,眼前的敌人只是一群普通的绵羊,而你们却是勇武的骑士,拿起你们的武器,跟着我一起冲下去,把他们狠狠的碾压。让他们知道不可以和我沃尔斯为敌。”沃尔斯已经拿起了他自己手中的那一把重型骑枪,骑枪的枪尖狠狠的指向那葛瑞福斯国王的所在地,没错这一次沃尔斯决定带领着他的骑士首要进攻葛瑞福斯国王的所在地。
擒贼先擒王,抓住了格瑞福斯博王,剩下的那100名罗多克王国军队定会不攻自破。
骑士们呼啸而过,他们的战马嘶鸣之声不绝入耳,数十名骑兵从罗多克王国的背后冲了过来,那些耳朵比较灵光的士兵,听见大地颤抖的声音,纷纷回过头来一探究竟,看见的事物令他们大吃一惊,一群斯瓦迪亚骑士居然拿起骑枪朝着它们冲锋。这简直就是死神在向他们招手。
“陛下,格瑞福斯国王,你快看,快看,我们的背后一群斯瓦迪亚骑士正向我们袭来,不如我们赶紧离开这里避避风头。”一名侍卫对着葛瑞福斯国王说道,他的脸上写满了惊恐。
“什么?沃尔斯带领的斯瓦迪亚骑士吗?雷兰德伯爵那个家伙居然战败了。”葛瑞福斯国王回过头看向了后面。
正好可以看见,那一群骑士队伍当中领头的那一位,葛瑞福斯国王看见那一位领头的骑士,他戴着头盔,在黄昏的落日阳光之中,葛瑞福斯国王根本无法看清他的面容,但是从气息上面来判断,这个家伙就是沃尔斯,这是格瑞福斯国王自己的感觉。
格瑞福斯国王想了想,觉得自己现在的军队当中却没能够找出一名可以和沃尔斯单挑的家伙,或许雷兰德伯爵手下的德鲁里可以和沃尔斯一较高下,但是很可惜,德鲁里今天参加战斗,疲惫不堪,所以雷兰德伯爵就将它放在了围住苏诺城市的500人当中。
所以说,德鲁里根本不在这里,自己这里又没有人可以和沃尔斯一较高下,那么自己要逃跑吗?
“不,我绝对不离开这里,我们有着100人,对方不到一百名,我们居然要被敌人给追着打,这要是传出去的话,我的名声岂不是**然无存,快,快给我集结军队去拦住那一支骑兵队伍。绝对不是能让他们靠近我一步。”葛瑞福斯国王对着自己的属下几乎是吼着说出来的。
The army led by Earl Leyland was actually defeated by Wals. The number of Earl Leyland's army was several times that of Wals, but Wals was able to defeat the larger force with a smaller one. Naturally, Earl Leyland's reputation plummeted. However, the army led by King Gryfus was more than 100 people. If more than 100 people were defeated by Wals's less than 100 people, then King Gryfus' reputation would be even worse than that of Earl Leyland.
As a king, King Graves naturally knew how important prestige was to a king, so he would never allow his prestige to disappear. Therefore, King Graves would definitely defeat Walls. At least that's what he said in his heart.
At this moment, Vols's battle will surely go down in history and be written about in great detail.
